Rethinking Care Through Social Reproduction: Articulating Circuits of Migration

Care has come to dominate much feminist research on globalized migrations and the transfer of labor from the South to the North, while the older concept of reproduction had been pushed into the background but is now becoming the subject of debates on the commodification of care in the household and changes in welfare state policies. This article argues that we could achieve a better understanding of the different modalities and trajectories of care in the reproduction of individuals, families, and communities, both of migrant and nonmigrant populations by articulating the diverse circuits of migration, in particular that of labor and the family. In doing this, I go back to the earlier North American writing on racialized minorities and migrants and stratified social reproduction. I also explore insights from current Asian studies of gendered circuits of migration connecting labor and marriage migrations as well as the notion of global householding that highlights the gender politics of social reproduction operating within and beyond households in institutional and welfare architectures. In contrast to Asia, there has relatively been little exploration in European studies of the articulation of labor and family migrations through the lens of social reproduction. However, connecting the different types of migration enables us to achieve a more complex understanding of care trajectories and their contribution to social reproduction.

Wolbachia genomes and the many faces of symbiosis

How could scientists working on the pathogenesis of filarial diseases, speciation and parthenogenesis in insects, sex-ratio deviations in crustaceans, pest control, and the evolution of bacterial genomes be united? How could a common research project attract the interest of these scientists? How could parasitology be made even more multi-disciplinary? Two workshops organized by New England Biolabs Inc. (Beverly, MA, USA) provide a simple answer to these questions: studying the genomes of Wolbachia endosymbionts.

Novas perspetivas sobre as identidades de classe

Há mais de uma década começou a formar-se um movimento de reconversão nos estudos sobre as classes sociais, orientado pela ideia de que é preciso dar mais relevo aos processos culturais, à formação de identidades, ao gosto e à expressão de modos de vida e proceder ao exame direto da maneira como as posições de classe são vividas. Nesta perspetiva, as culturas de classe deixam de designar apenas tipos de comportamento próprios de grupos de desigualdade e passam a ser vistas também como modos de diferenciação, em que as categorias de classe operam através de distinções individualizadas e comparações relacionais com membros de outras classes. O que o conceito de identidade de classe quer agora indicar é um sentido das distâncias sociais dentro das hierarquias, que recorre às diferenças culturais para se exprimir. Este texto recenseia os desenvolvimentos teóricos e as bases empíricas desta linha de trabalho, emergente na sociologia britânica a partir do final da década de 90, com as propostas de autores como Savage, Skeggs, Reay, ou Bottero, entre outros.

Interrupção do arco aórtico tipo B em uma paciente com síndrome de olho de gato

Relatamos um caso de paciente com Síndrome do Olho de Gato (Cat Eye Syndrome-CES) e interrupção do arco aórtico tipo B, um achado típico na síndrome da deleção 22q11.2. A análise cromossômica e a técnica de hibridização fluorescente in situ (FISH) mostraram um cromossomo marcador isodicêntrico supranumerário com bi-satélite derivado do cromossomo 22. O segmento de 22pter a 22q11.2 no cromossomo supranumerário encontrado em nosso paciente não estava em sobreposição com a região deletada em pacientes com a síndrome da deleção 22q11.2. Entretanto, o achado de interrupção do arco aórtico tipo B não é usual na CES, mas é um defeito cardíaco freqüente na síndrome da deleção 22q11.

Why Public Health Agencies Cannot Depend on Good Laboratory Practices as a Criterion for Selecting Data: The Case of Bisphenol A

In their safety evaluations of bisphenol A (BPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a counterpart in Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have given special prominence to two industry-funded studies that adhered to standards defined by Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). These same agencies have given much less weight in risk assessments to a large number of independently replicated non-GLP studies conducted with government funding by the leading experts in various fields of science from around the world. OBJECTIVES: We reviewed differences between industry-funded GLP studies of BPA conducted by commercial laboratories for regulatory purposes and non-GLP studies conducted in academic and government laboratories to identify hazards and molecular mechanisms mediating adverse effects. We examined the methods and results in the GLP studies that were pivotal in the draft decision of the U.S. FDA declaring BPA safe in relation to findings from studies that were competitive for U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, peer-reviewed for publication in leading journals, subject to independent replication, but rejected by the U.S. FDA for regulatory purposes. DISCUSSION: Although the U.S. FDA and EFSA have deemed two industry-funded GLP studies of BPA to be superior to hundreds of studies funded by the U.S. NIH and NIH counterparts in other countries, the GLP studies on which the agencies based their decisions have serious conceptual and methodologic flaws. In addition, the U.S. FDA and EFSA have mistakenly assumed that GLP yields valid and reliable scientific findings (i.e., "good science"). Their rationale for favoring GLP studies over hundreds of publically funded studies ignores the central factor in determining the reliability and validity of scientific findings, namely, independent replication, and use of the most appropriate and sensitive state-of-the-art assays, neither of which is an expectation of industry-funded GLP research. CONCLUSIONS: Public health decisions should be based on studies using appropriate protocols with appropriate controls and the most sensitive assays, not GLP. Relevant NIH-funded research using state-of-the-art techniques should play a prominent role in safety evaluations of chemicals.

Rededication of Chapman College Chapel, Orange, California

Rededication of Chapman College Chapel, Orange, California, February, 1978. Don Broth and Dennis Short are walking in the aisle. Edie Chapman is at front left. Beverly Kamp is in the third pew on the right, with Arthur and Alice Flint in row behind. The wooden-shingled church, constructed in 1909 for the congregation of Trinity Episcopal Church, is located on the northeast corner of East Maple Avenue and North Grand Street. Chapman College (now Chapman University) purchased the church for their chapel when the congregation moved to a new church on Canal Street.
